Albatross DreamsI remembered once, you asked me what my dreams were made of.

I told you they were made of secret tunnels and giant apples. Train platforms that promised to never take me home. Mattresses stacked so high I could see the entire city. Mazes of emergency exists that lead into science laboratories, and construction sites, and rooms with big concrete walls groaning with machinery. Waking to forests that grew in my front garden overnight. Parties with the strangest collection of guests -many I thought long forgotten. Fireworks heralding the end of the world; watching them from my castle balcony. Larva arching over my head. Thunderstorms that swallo

As un-dramatic as this is going to sound, this was mainly inspired by the need to work on my soft shading, and the fact that I've noticed I don't have enough green/yellow-themed pictures in my gallery :P Yep. That was all. Well, I suppose I also felt that I needed to do something a bit tamer and less.. dark/fantasy I guess =/ Add some variety.

I was looking at a whole bunch of Phoenix Wright pictures, and it made me realise how much I wanted to attempt a softer style of colouring. I'm also quite impressed at how the lineart came out... used a different technique, once again inspired by the Phoenix Wright arts xD. Much more time consuming, but I like it =) So yeah... I spent -a lot- of time on this one... worked with a (much) bigger canvas to what I usually do, so that meant more details and more effort X__x Aaaiihh... I really shouldn't have this much time on my hands! xD

Yeeuh... I don't think it's quite perfect... I need to practice drawing arms and material X__x But yes.. we all have to start somewhere *nods*\
